[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

Samuel was pecked awake.At first he didn't know what was going on, he just felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand, and the pain seemed to be persistent and escalated, so he woke up unwillingly from his sleep.

He slept very comfortably this time, but he hasn't been this comfortable for a long time.When he used to sleep out in the wild, Samuel was always worried about whether there would be some wild animals or strangers passing by.And on this small island that he judged to be safe, where he was the only one, and listening to the hypnotic sound of the sea, he completely lost his previous vigilance and fell into a deep sleep.

Samuel was still very angry at first, and wanted to ask Xiaohua why she woke him up so late. Judging from a transparent curtain above the tent, it was still early in the morning.But then, he was terrified, realizing that Xiaohua couldn't peck him for no reason, there must be some danger, so he jumped up in his heart, but quickly grabbed the knife that Xiaohua gave out at the beginning and squatted down. Sitting up, with the tip of the knife facing out, he held a steady and vigilant observation, while pulling in the belt of his robe to prevent it from affecting his activities. Fortunately, he has now developed the habit of not taking off his clothes at night.

Xiaohua snuggled up to Samuel's feet, and Samuel quickly figured out what monsters he might encounter on the island.There are dangerous sea creatures such as carnivorous sharks and large octopuses in the sea, but it is impossible to go ashore, and this palm-sized island, can it still be tigers, wolves or something?In a short time, the only dangerous animal he could think of was a poisonous snake.

But what if it is not?what else?Think about it, think about those desert island survival shows that you only glanced at before, and think about the dangers in it!Is it a snake or a poisonous insect?

Or, instead of these creatures that Samuel can understand, but the sea monsters in the fairy tale world that he can't understand, the guards say?

Amidst the sound of the waves that still did not stop and would not stop, Samuel swallowed dryly, but his mouth became even more bitter.Xiao Hua shrunk herself into a ball, and was about to roll into the robe Samuel was wearing, but Samuel hadn't heard any strange sounds yet.Is he still on his way, or has he already arrived, watching his prey playfully and secretly?What should I do, escape from the tent to avoid being directly pressed to death by the danger, or leave the shelter of the tent to face the monster?

Although Samuel's palms were sweating, the knife in his hand was held firmly.His eyes were fixed on a point in front of him, but it was not the door of the tent. The whole person's mental strength was concentrated on understanding the surrounding environment. The monster would not obediently walk through the door and then greet Samuel, no matter which direction it was, It may appear suddenly!

There was a stalemate like this for a long time, but there was still no sound other than the sound of the sea. Samuel almost wanted to comfort himself that it was Xiaohua who reacted wrongly.But Xiao Hua has completely hidden in Samuel's robe now, and it doesn't know why it feels safe here.Samuel tried to move his fingers. Oops, he was too nervous just now, and now his fingers are stiff. I'm afraid a monster will appear, but he can't move his hands!

Just when Samuel was about to give up on rubbing his fingers first, he heard a strange sound.

"Huh————" The sound came from far to near, obviously very slight, but it was not overwhelmed by the sound of the waves at all. It sounded like something was coming this way, unhurriedly, just letting Sei Muir's heart beat even more nervously.

"La~la~beep~da~" seemed to be singing while walking, casual and indifferent, but an invisible force pressed towards Samuel.

It's really the worst situation, it can't help being a sea monster, maybe it's the man-eating sea monster that caused the abnormal danger in the Baisha sea area.Just can sing?Suddenly, Samuel remembered the story of the siren siren that he had heard before. Legend has it that they would stand on the sea with their upper body bare and sing to lure sailors on the voyage. Ren drove, and jumped into the sea to become their food.

However, this monster is indeed singing, but it's not good to say, it doesn't feel heart-beating at all, and it's even walking towards him!

Thinking about what to do to reduce the pressure on himself, Samuel also decided that he couldn't sit still and die in the tent like this!He picked up Xiao Hua, told him in his heart to use his paws to hold on to his robe so that it would not loosen and fall off, and at the same time raised the curtain of the tent to get out from inside, thinking that it would be fine to run away or face the battle, but just got out, I saw the appearance of that "monster"——

Just from the upper body, it looks like a human, or a good-looking human male. The light blue hair is as dense as seaweed that is still alive in the water and surging with the ocean currents. Scrape without hair floating to your cheeks to block your view.His eyes are also light blue, the iris is lighter, and the whites of the eyes are smaller than others. They should look scary, but they are unexpectedly beautiful. Where humans should have long ears, they are blank, but they are Slightly above is a fin-like organ; his upper body has no clothes and no hair, his skin is as smooth as water, scales grow from the waist, and he has no feet. Instead, he has an organ similar to a fish's tail. The caudal fin that reaches the ground is relatively wide, and he also uses this organ when he walks—the two ends of the caudal fin are alternately supported back and forth to move the body, and it makes a "shua-shua-" sound as it sweeps over the grass.

Obviously, it's a mermaid!However, it is definitely not the kind and beautiful mermaid in fairy tales. From his immature face, which is full of excitement and appetite after seeing the prey, it can be seen that this guy is a carnivorous mermaid.Samuel immediately understood that this was the culprit that caused no one to pass through the White Sand Sea, a mermaid that looked good but was actually very vicious.

That's too bad, Samuel sighed as he was used to it.This kind of sigh and the previous adjective said too much, but the fear at this time seemed to be formalized and numb with "here it is again", which did a good job of diluting Samuel's nervousness.He was still muttering in his heart that it should be the siren who eats people, but the siren has a human face and a bird body, but the one in front of him is a real mermaid, but isn't it natural for mermaids to eat people?

When Samuel was still studying in Tianchao, for a while, reverse thinking was very popular in school teaching, allowing students to think about those idioms from another angle, and the "mermaid eats people" proposed by one of his classmates This view, in particular, was fresh in Samuel's mind.

That classmate said that mermaids should be an evolutionary species of fish, but among fish there are herbivores, omnivores, cannibals, and even sharks that love to chase humans. The transformed mermaid naturally has the same food habits.

So the mermaid I met right now is a species of fish that eats people. Samuel tried to comfort himself, this is completely understandable!

But... there is still a feeling of a fairy tale being smashed into pieces!

The mermaid was still some distance away from Samuel, but suddenly he realized that something was wrong.It was obviously dark night, and he had only exercised his physical strength, not his eyesight. He didn't have the ability of night vision, but how could he be able to clearly see the face of this mermaid from a long distance, and distinguish his hair and pupils? s color?This is so unusual, as if the impression this guy gives people is not through the eyes, but through something else, directly printed on it.Samuel raised his vigilance again, thinking that if the danger is a mermaid, he can't avoid it by diving into the sea, but this palm-sized island is not suitable for the hide-and-seek game where you chase after me.

Moreover, how did the mermaid kill passers-by?You must know that sailors who dare to sail in the sea are all strong and healthy people, but none of them lived through the white sand sea seriously.Alas, if I knew it, I wouldn’t stop here. The guard said he wanted to walk along the island, but he didn’t say that he could stop halfway. If he didn’t stop the boat in the middle of the night and kept rowing hard, would he be able to leave the hunting range of the mermaid? ?

The mermaid was still singing, unhurried, with full confidence in winning, not at all worried that Samuel would escape.His eyes did not look directly at Samuel, but Samuel could feel the piercing gaze.Samuel suddenly felt that the knife in his hand was very insecure. This mermaid should be the kind with strong melee combat ability, especially when he got closer. Samuel could observe the streamlined muscles on his body more closely. when.Although the knife is sharp, the blade is too short to penetrate enough.He tried his best to communicate with Xiaohua, and asked it for his long sword.

Xiao Hua, who was hooking his robe with his feet, moved quickly, and an egg immediately landed in Samuel's palm. He didn't care about exposing Xiao Hua's ability, and he smashed a long sword directly, and switched to holding it in his right hand. And the previous pocket knife is in his left hand for emergencies.

Just when the mermaid was about ten meters away from Samuel, and Samuel was already considering whether to take the initiative to attack, he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and saw the mermaid disappear in place from the corner of his eye, a string on his body Immediately collapsed, the body acted before the brain, and slashed forward with a sword, and heard a "clang", and the slash had already hit the real point.

The mermaid gripped his bloody arm in displeasure, and glared at him angrily.
